Canadian unemployment hits 7.1%. Is a recession upon us?
Description
Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the latest jobs report which showed big job losses in August, resulting in the unemployment rate reaching its highest since 2016, and the implications for Canada’s economy and next month’s federal budget. In the back half of the show, exclusive for Hub Heroes and Fellows, they cover Pierre Poilievre’s provocative call to end the Temporary Foreign Worker program and why it would be good for Canada’s economy to reduce its dependency on temporary migrants.
